Senior Social Life
SENIOR NET also has LEARNING CENTERS all over the U.S. where seniors can learn to operate a computer. Find the locations here: http://www.seniornet.org/php/lclist.php PEOPLE WHO SHARE YOUR INTERESTS Want to meet people in your area who share your interests? Try MEET UP. Whether you're interested in dalmatians or stock market investing, in scrapbooking, homemaking, bicycling, or studying Japanese, you may find other people in your area interested in the same things. In which case you can use this site to "meet up" with them. (And let me add that this would be a good way for single people to find other singles with the same interests.) SUDDENLY SENIOR “A place for everyone who’s become senior before their time,” it says. So, if your friends have gotten old in recent years, but you haven’t, you’ll love SUDDENLY SENIOR. Find humor, “bee’s knees nostalgia,” and much more. http://www.suddenlysenior.com/ WHY ANDY ROONEY PREFERS OLDER WOMEN If you’re an older woman you’ll especially appreciate his ending: “Yes, we praise older women for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it is not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coifed babe of 70, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22 year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize for all of us.” Read the whole thing here: http://www.vivaconsulting.com/wellness/28value.html LIVE TO BE 120? Do you want to live to be 120? I don’t – unless I could somehow remain healthy and active for 119 of those years. A lot of people feel that way – and a surprising number of researchers are trying to meet the challenge of a much longer and healthy life for us all. The ABOUT people, who I notice stay right up to the minute, have a “longevity” page. It’s not their usual kind of writeup. They are instead doing what I do: collecting longevity research reports from all over and passing them on to the public. If you’re interested in a long and healthy life, you may want to bookmark this page. The page’s lefthand steering column also has much more on longevity. |
